Tennis eyes Affordable housing scarce Big West title HOMELESS IN OC

Captains, coaches credit camaraderie for successful year. TAYLOR ENGLE Daily Titan

FULLERTON— The past four years, the Cal State Fullerton women’s tennis team and coaching staff have made their way to an empty classroom in the Kinesiology and Health Science Building during their first week of practice. Once there, everyone on the roster blurts out what sounds like an unorganized cacophony to the untrained ear, but what is actually a declaration of their goals for the season. Amidst the madness, the team captains attempt to trim the list to just five. This season, the Titans decided to aim for a team GPA of over 3.0. They also wanted to be ranked nationally and to finish with a winning record (they managed the second, but not the first). The Titans didn’t quite hit their goal of going undefeated in Big West play, and with the conference championship coming up next weekend in Indian Wells, they still have one box left to check. “We still can knock out some goals that we set at the beginning of the year, and that’s to win the Big West Championship,” said senior and team captain Alexis Valenzuela. CSUF’s tennis team owes its success to hard work, persistence and some words from Head Coach Dianne Matias. “A lot of it just comes down to, ‘How bad do you want it?’” Matias said. The Titans wanted it enough to post their best record in program history (183) and part of the team’s success is due to the fact that it is comprised entirely of sophomores, juniors and seniors with experience playing college tennis. The two seniors on the team (Camille De Leon and Alexis Valenzuela) have been partners since their junior year, and their chemistry helped the Titans avoid losing the doubles point until their final match of the season. “Playing with Lexi is really great because she tells me to relax and not be too nervous and just have fun,” De Leon said.

Thousands affected by lack of low-income options in Fullerton. ASHLYN RAMIREZ BRYANT FREESE Daily Titan

Thousands of homeless people need affordable rental housing in Orange County, but if they want a place in Fullerton, they’ll probably end up on a waiting list. Fullerton has about 20 apartment complexes that offer roughly 1,100

affordable units, most of them for families, most with waiting lists. Four apartments have stopped taking names. Las Palmas Apartments on Associated Road closed its list when it hit 50 names. Orange County’s website

has a link to a list of affordable housing units, but it may not be complete. Families who would like to live in the Allen Hotel Apartments off south Harbor Boulevard face a six-year wait, the longest listed for Fullerton on the Orange County

Community Services website. Someone who is disabled or a senior citizen will have to wait four to five years to get a unit at Amerige Villa Apartments off west Amerige Drive. SEE HOUSING

The 28-year-old linguistics graduate student lives at Casa Maria Del Rio, an affordable housing complex for the mobility impaired. The apartments currently have a twoyear waitlist. “I contacted them. And they were like, ‘Actually, we do have a vacancy,’ which is unusually rare,” Harrison said. In 2012, Harrison was living with family in Yorba Linda and Fullerton while he tried to secure a permanent place to live. A close friend helped him with his housing search and told him about the Casa Maria Del Rio apartments. SEE ACCESSIBLE

Laying on the ground outside of a Subway restaurant in Santa Ana, a homeless man is asleep in the middle of the afternoon. With waitlists for affordable rental housing as long as six years, many are left with no options but to sleep wherever they can.

Housing: OC rental prices contribute to homelessness CONTINUED FROM

The shortage is exacerbated by slow turnover. When people get into an affordable senior apartment, they tend to stay there, said Imaida Gorelik, an Amerige Villa Apartments employee. If they apply, they wait, she said. Fullerton Mayor Bruce Whitaker is skeptical of the efforts to expand affordable housing but acknowledges the problem. “I think it’s very important that people are able to find adequate living space without consuming their entire incomes,” Whitaker said. “The government itself is part of the culprit of driving prices up,” he said. Lack of studios and one-bedrooms Most units available are for seniors and families, leaving many single people out of luck—and there are a lot of them in Orange County. More than 2,000 single people who were reported sleeping unsheltered, according to the 2016 federal Continuum of Care (CoC)

homeless report in Orange County. Another 800 were sleeping in emergency shelters. One 48-year-old woman found herself homeless after her mother was put into a Fullerton nursing home. Without the ability to share living costs, the woman, who asked not to be identified, now lives in a tent along the east bank of the Santa Ana River in Anaheim. She wants to find affordable housing but can’t on a fixed income of $800 a month. She says the main reason many find themselves homeless is because the rent is so high. “If the rent goes down, then we might be able to get it,” she said. In Fullerton, Fullerton City Lights on Commonwealth Avenue is the only apartment complex on the county’s list that offers studios for non-disabled singles. The 116 units there have a one-month waiting list. Paying the rent Rent for each unit varies based on the area median income of the county. A single income of

$20,500 a year in Orange County is considered extremely low, according to a 2016 report from the state Department of Housing and Community Development. Rent for someone in that category averages around $500 to $600 per month for a single bedroom, according to the Richman Park apartment project, proposed by Jamboree Corporation. In 2016, the Orange County Executive Office released a biting assessment of homeless services in the county. “The existing inventory of emergency shelter, transitional housing and permanent housing resources is insufficient to meet current needs in the county,” according to a report from the Executive Office. The report called for “increased development of affordable housing units and options.” Fullerton Mayor Pro Tem Doug Chaffee voted against an affordable housing proposal at a city council meeting in February because he wants more units aimed at residents who have less income. The median income for a four-person family in Orange County is $87,200, according to the HCD report.

On average, the homeless woman along the riverbed earns less than $10,000 a year. The affordable housing projects in Orange County are out of reach. Two affordable housing projects may bring about 100 new units to Fullerton. City council members recently approved the Fullerton Family Apartments proposal that adds 54 affordable family units. Six of those units are priced for extremely low incomes. The council will revisit another proposal that was not approved in February, which would add an additional 45 units. Five of those units will be priced for extremely low incomes. “So many of these projects claim that they’re bringing more supply onto the market and that supply will help to drive down pricing. We’re not seeing that, that really isn’t happening,” Whitaker said. “Most of those types of new developments, the pricing is coming in really at the moderately high or high end.”

CSUF faculty member researched his familial ties to World War I. ASHLEY HALEY Daily Titan

CSUF associate history professor Jonathan Markley recounted his grandfather Bruce Fowler’s experience serving in World War I at the Fullerton Public Library Monday. “For the last couple of years, I’ve really gotten obsessed with the family history, and it’s been a rather interesting one,” Markley said. Markley was born in New Zealand and taught history in Hong Kong before moving to Australia and then to California. He has been teaching history in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences since 2006 and researches Chinese historiography and foreign relations, according to the college’s faculty website. Fowler died when Markley was 16. Markley said his grandfather never talked about his war experiences

so he started a research project to reconstruct Fowler’s life. “Some of it comes from family history, but most of it has been researched, (which consisted of) going to the archives, going to official histories and going to all sorts of other things,” Markley said. Markley said Fowler was born in New Zealand but moved to London at the age of 2. After his 18th birthday, he decided to go back to New Zealand where he volunteered to join WWI in 1914. Throughout his time serving in the war, Fowler worked as a cattle driver for a mobile field hospital, a field baker and was trained to shoot heavy machine guns. He later joined the New Zealand Machine Gun Corps in 1917, Markley said. Fowler suffered a gunshot wound to the shoulder during the New Zealand Disaster, Markley said. “None of the family had the faintest clue that he’d ever been wounded in the shoulder. That just came out of his military records,”

Markley said. Markley also shared photos of Fowler after he was shot in the face when an object ricocheted off a machine gun during a German attack on New Zealand soldiers. Fowler survived the wound and underwent multiple plastic surgeries, Markley said. Markley said Fowler was married in 1919 and had children. He died at the age of 93 in 1986. Throughout his presentation, Markley told stories of different people he encountered while researching his grandfather like Captain Bell, Private Bill Andrus and Valerie Goodchild. “Basically, what I plan to do is write the personal story of my grandfather as he is going through (WWI) and then sort of making little two-page or little threepage digressions,” Markley said. Markley said he was fortunate because information was easier to find and access in Australia and New Zealand regarding WWI. He said he also used memorial websites, national

library websites, online archives and Facebook to conduct his research. CSUF history professor Kristine Dennehy said she serves on the Library Board of Trustees and is

responsible for getting CSUF faculty members to speak at the library. Dennehy said she knew Markley was working on the project and wanted people in the community to

know more about it. “I think it’s a great way for people in the community to know what some of the faculty are doing at Cal State Fullerton,” Dennehy said.

there are over 100 members of PRSSA who will be graduating this semester. Graduates will receive PRSSA sashes during the ceremony. Rodriguez said that the event is open to anyone interested even though it is geared toward PRSSA members. Vo said tickets for members are $10 and $50 for non-members. The event, which will

feature a commencement speech by OCPRSA President Brenda Springer, raffle giveaways, food and a bar, was sparked by PRSSA member Claire Imada, Vo said. “We took (Imada’s) suggestion and turned it into reality. We made it really possible for them to see that we actually listen to our members,” Vo said. Vo said PRSSA is a

“national organization dedicated to providing professionals clear opportunities and networking events.” The CSUF chapter invited their sponsors, account coordinators, account executives and founders of the public relation agency to the gala, Rodriguez said. She said there will be about 20 professionals attending the event. “These are the people

who are going to get you those connections and in the door,” Rodriguez said. Vo said there is a cocktail attire dress code for the event. “We are just so excited to have this event,” Vo said. “This is the first time we are ever having a graduation ceremony to recognize our members who have really been with us through a lot.”

Needing a place to live and with nowhere else to go, Harrison saw himself as a “perfect fit” for the apartments. Harrison was commuting to Santiago Canyon College from his new apartment by bus, waking up early in the morning to embark on a three-hour ride so he would arrive on time for his 8 a.m. class. “It was so far away and because the transit time was so much more demanding, I’d have to spend the whole day there whether I liked it or not,” Harrison said. After receiving his associates degree in humanities and communications, he transferred to Cal State Fullerton and got his Bachelor of Arts in linguistics with a minor in Spanish. He feels spoiled now that it only takes him about 20 minutes to walk to CSUF. Living near campus has given Harrison flexibility to go back

and forth from school when needed. “I don’t have to worry about buses. I don’t have to worry about tiring myself out. I don’t have to worry about missing class or not getting there on time because of transit,” Harrison said. “It’s just a whole lot easier on me in probably more reasons that I can even name.“ Being able to live by himself has given him more independence. He now finds that it is easier to study having his own place. The location provides many different areas to eat, shop and explore that are all in walking distance. Harrison has been living at Casa Maria Del Rio for five years and receives in-home assistance from organizations that help him with cleaning around the house. In his apartment, Harrison’s 5-month-old corgi Poirot keeps him company. He plans to train Poirot to

become a service dog when he reaches a year old but for now, he keeps Harrison entertained. Harrison hopes to graduate within a year and a half and plans to get his Ph.D. He also serves as the president for the Linguistics Student Association and is a representative for the Humanities and Social Sciences InterClub Council. “I try to do what I can to help people. It’s one of the reasons I got involved with everything in school,” Harrison said. Within the college, he has organized events and brought awareness to his club. Jon Schreiber, the chair of Humanities and Social Sciences InterClub Council, has known Harrison since 2015 when they both served as representatives on the council. “You know, having Logan is like having an extra set of eyes,” Schreiber said. During council meetings, Harrison is always prepared

Schreiber said. Now with a permanent place to live, Harrison is fortunate to have found affordable housing in Fullerton that reflects his helpful, attentive demeanor.

CSUF welcomes prospective students to campus Volunteers host tours to help attract potential Titans. AMBER HAMILTON Daily Titan From the front of the Titan Student Union, an intermittent stream of visitors snaked toward the northern entrance of Titan Stadium. By 9 a.m., the seating was filled, leaving only standing room. The fresh faces of prospective students waited to discover their potential new home. Welcome to CSUF Day Saturday introduced future

high school graduates as well as upcoming transfer students to Cal State Fullerton. The opening ceremony speeches from ASI Executive Director Dave Edwards and interim associate vice president for Student Affairs Darren Bush explained the agendas given to students when they had first entered the auditorium. Near the end of his speech, Bush encouraged visitors to stay hydrated as volunteers were offering free water bottles all over campus to help combat the intense heat of the day. The ceremony ended on a lighthearted note when Edwards retook the stage

and gave visitors a playful bribe. “I want to give you a little secret. Darren really wants you to come here. We have two Starbucks open today and he’s willing to buy a Unicorn Frappuccino for anyone that will sign today,” Edwards said. For visitors heading back from the stadium there were pop-up canopies in front of the Student Recreation Center filled with volunteers organizing tours covering the general campus with some specialized for student housing. Tours were guided by students including Linh Kim, who had at least a year of

experience giving campus tours. “A lot of parents and incoming students have been asking a lot of good questions. Most of them don’t know what to major in, so I use my personal experience of choosing my major to make them feel more comfortable,” Kim said. For visitors who wanted to take a less-structured and self-guided tour, there were more canopies set up all over the school with students and faculty representing the different facets of college life. Titan Walk was devoted primarily to CSUF clubs as well as student services including financial aid. The

perimeter of the Quad hosted most of the colleges on campus, with the front of the Humanities-Social Sciences Building showcasing some of the campus fraternities and sororities. The event also included workshops covering a variety of topics ranging from handling being a first-time student, how to get financial aid, parental involvement and successful practices for transfer students. If at any point the campus felt too overwhelming for the new visitors, info kiosks were available all over in addition to roaming student volunteers wearing “Ask Me?” shirts in the school’s

colors. Several helpers also wore large colorful pins that read “Yo hablo Español” to help prospective Spanish-speaking students and their families. As the event started to wind down to a close at 1 p.m. and visitors began to trickle out, the mood remained positive among visitors. Siblings Kyea and Kyle Antoine were pleased with the day and felt they were likely to come back to CSUF in the future. “It’s been good. The tour was fun and the orientation so far has been good,” Kyea Antoine said. “This is the school I really want to go to.”

TITAN TOONS

CATHRYN EDWARDS / DAILY TITAN

March for Science: a sad necessity Trump’s ignorance will hurt the environment in the long run.

ASHLYN RAMIREZ Daily Titan In response to proposed budget cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and a political realm dominated by conservatives, thousands across the nation marched in the name of science. The fact that citizens of this country have to actively rally in support of scientific

investigation and fact-based experimentation is a clear indication that our government is heading in the wrong direction. While the March for Science demonstration was not meant to criticize religious ideology, it reaffirmed the need for the separation of church and state. Too many people in the White House are denying climate change and global warming because of their religious beliefs, and it is negatively affecting the planet and all the living beings that call it home. Science, much to the chagrin of deniers, stays true no matter how much the Trump administration can deny it. Sorry Donald Trump, China didn’t make up climate change, and just so we’re clear: The Loch Ness Monster, Santa & the tooth fairy aren’t real either.

Considering the Trump administration’s domestic concern over the dying coal industry, it’s clear that its vision is terribly shortsighted. Global leaders should not look to American government for any environmental solutions right now. In an interview with the Associated Press, Michael Bloomberg, former New York mayor, advised global leaders to ignore Trump’s regressive, ignorant stance on climate change and continue to help the environment within their own policies. One particular concern is the termination of the Paris Agreement from 2015 that could help strengthen the fight against fossil fuel emissions. It’s evident that Trump is ready to cancel this agreement from comments on his campaign trail. Let’s just hope that this is another one of those promises he ends up breaking.

Though some would point to U.S. Secretary of Energy Rick Perry as a beacon of hope since he has recognized the impact that mankind has had on the environment, his comments are still up for speculation. During his confirmation hearing, Perry addressed climate change and the direction we should take by saying, “The question is how do we address it in a thoughtful way that doesn’t compromise economic growth, the affordability of energy or American jobs.” While his concern is real, it’s the “affordability” that really hinders the credibility from Perry’s plan. If it comes down to saving the environment or saving jobs, it seems he would choose the latter. States like South Dakota have already been affected by this conservative mindset with the passage of a bill that

allows teachers to question the merit of widely established theories of evolution. It’s unfortunate, but this is why thousands have flocked together to express their frustration with the government’s questioning of science. At the Orange County March for Science, wetland scientist and CSUF alumna Sheryl Parsons said, “Since I work with wildlife, I want to bring in the awareness of wanting to protect it. It’s too egoistic for people to assume that we’re separate from nature, so the bottom line is to show that we are a part of it, and we just want to support that.” It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand that science is fact. Science seriously deserves that kind of respect from our government. Politicians, should not be able to dismiss something that is so important and so vital to

the survival and growth of the United States. They set an example for everyone else, and right now, they really aren’t setting a good one. Brittany Poloni, a newly admitted graduate student at Cal State Fullerton for environmental science, participated in the march in order to raise awareness about “evidence based science used to establish policy.” “Facts are important, science is important, and these things that matter and are true, and on the federal level, we need to address that,” Poloni said, a scientific aide with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and lab technician at Saddleback College. This march then is bittersweet. It’s great that there are people that are willing to fight for logic and understanding, but terrible that this is a standard that must be fought for.

Camille De Leon, one of Cal State Fullerton tennis’ two seniors, helped lead the team to its best record in program history (18-3). De Leon went 14-9 overall and 3-3 in conference singles play during her final campaign with the Titans.

Tennis: Titans reflect on record season CONTINUED FROM

De Leon, who prefers playing doubles because playing with someone else helps her to stay focused, began playing tennis when she was 4 years old. She played in tennis academies as a fun hobby until it turned into a serious commitment, eventually traveling to national tournaments in her teen years. She soon began earning rankings in divisions, which led to her to being recruited by CSUF. Valenzuela didn’t pick up a racket to play until she was 8 years old but became easily hooked on the sport. “(My parents) put me in tennis, and the next thing you know, it just kind of snowballed from there,” Valenzuela said. Growing up, Valenzuela also played basketball but decided to devote her time to tennis when it became less of a hobby and more of a serious pursuit. While De Leon’s preference is playing doubles, Valenzuela prefers to take the court alone. “It’s all depending on me,” Valenzuela said. “So if I lose, the only person I can blame is myself.” The two seniors have been coached by Matias for the their entire college careers and said they respect her strategies as a leader. Valenzuela described Matias as “composed on the court.” De Leon agreed,

adding that Matias pushes them toward their full potential as players. Along with her calm nature, Matias empathizes with her players needing to successfully juggle their tennis commitments alongside their academics. “We understand how difficult it is to balance all of that, but a lot of that comes down to them setting their priorities,” Matias said. “As the years go on, you kind of learn how to balance it all,” Valenzuela said. Reflecting on her athletic career at CSUF, De Leon recalls making it to the ITA West Regional Tournament with Valenzuela last fall. “We had the opportunity to play against top schools. It was a really great experience,” De Leon said. As for Valenzuela, her standout moments were getting ranked within the top 40 in the NCAA during preseason this year and taking the decisive singles match in the Titans’ games against San Jose and Cal Poly, the latter of which she spoiled Senior Day for in front of a raucous crowd. Valenzuela and De Leon are both health science majors interested in pursuing careers in nursing. With graduation rapidly approaching, they are figuring out their future in education, but tennis is a game the two seniors will always hold near to them. Valenzuela said she’ll attempt to turn pro, and

KATIE ALBERTSON / DAILY TITAN STOCK PHOTO

Alexis Valenzuela went 16-4 overall in singles during her senior season with Cal State Fullerton and doesn’t plan to let her devotion to the game end any time soon. “I’ve been doing this my whole life. After this, if I don’t decide to go pro, I know I’ll still have to be around it,” Valenzuela said.

if she can’t do that, then she’ll try to stay around the game by either coaching or playing recreationally.

“I’ll for sure miss my team. The bond that we have. We’re like one big family, like a whole group

of sisters,” Valenzuela said. “I’ll just miss all the fun trips with them, practicing every day and just spending

time together.” Harrison Faigen contributed to this report.

You are not a happy camper if someone close to you breaks his or her word today. Although there may be a justiﬁable reason for their actions, your disappointment is obvious. There are times when your cool and collected approach to an emotional situation is the best possible response.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)

Although your emotions run deep, youʼre usually capable of managing the intensity so it doesnʼt have a negative impact at work. However, your ﬁlter for social acceptability isnʼt working now; youʼll express it if you feel it.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)

People can count on you today, but not for your mature and responsible behavior. In fact, the heightened activity in your 5th House of Fun and Games is a reminder of how easy it is to forget about your responsibilities while youʼre in the pursuit of something more enjoyable than work.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)

In order to take advantage of an amazing opportunity today, you may need to extend well beyond your normal comfort zone. Youʼre not one to retreat from hard work; you are willing to do whatever is necessary to achieve your goals.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)

Your schedule appears to be out of control before you even get started today. Although you know you wonʼt be able to do everything thatʼs on your agenda, youʼre willing to try anyhow. But itʼs going to require more than a positive attitude to ﬁt everything into place and you could be setting yourself up for trouble later on.

PISCES

(Feb. 19 - Mar. 20)

All the practical issues weighing on your mind make it nearly impossible to relax and enjoy yourself today. But postponing the good times makes sense if you need to take care of business.
